- Jolls, on 10/12/2007, -6/+127ooh man, i totally disagree. I love google's homepage and rather dislike Yahoo!'s. Personalized homepage is simple, banner-lacking, and totally freeform.
- uhdean, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45I disagree also. Google is all about the simple interface. I like it plain. The drag and drop and the ability to put the widgets that i want where I want them is key. The ability to resize some would be nice but I like it as it is.
- JimMayJr, on 08/06/2009, -2/+39It's way better than the ridiculously cluttered yahoo page with the content sliding down with ads etc...
- RugbyAnderson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32It would almost be like a step backwards for Google. The personalized homepage in my opinion is far ahead yahoo's homepage schema. I believe people like Google for the option of having the choice between the slim, clean and not cluttered search page and a homepage that can be customized to one's interests and likings.
However, looks cool and well made. - rad4Christ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27What's funny, is the reverse is true. Yahoo has a simplistic page mimicking Google. Just go to http://search.yahoo.com
- gondaba, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20yes, very nicely done. my life online has become so google-centric, i'd actually use a page like this.
- austindkelly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I agree, this is why i use the personalized homepage on google, its clean and simple. No ad banners or videos, just give me my RSS feeds, kthx
- GrantTheGr8, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15I kind of like it but I wouldn't want it to be their default homepage. It would be neat as a separate page.
- sirloin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14fireup greasemonkey and google can look like this
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9This is why I don't like Yahoo... it's too cluttered and busy. When I'm looking for other content, I don't want a lot of the search engine's content to wade through first; I want a simple page with a search bar (and links to the other services).
- axiomflash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7i hope to god google never does this.
i really wish they'd add some more buttons to the iphone though! ;) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6And the site's not down either...
- Filter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I thought I wouldn't like it because I rather like the simplicity of Google now, but I was wrong. Having access to your e-mail and talk in the same front page widget would be very nice and that design doesn't hurt my eyes.
- idiggeverything, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I say keep google the same by default, and use that one as a personalized home. But not the face of google.
- Lazybones, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Ummm the point was to mock-up the yahoo interface with google apps.. Hence there should be little difference.
- webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"where on the page do my RSS feeds fit? "
Google Reader. - brian4572, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You made me realize the absolute power of Google, maybe not the total power but I love you Google. I have been living in the dark but now I can see, thank you Google, I love you. I love Frogger. Damn that's great wow, i've been stuck on Yahoo for too long. You know after the filthy message boards were taken down over there I have been hanging around Digg forever and I can see better now, I can see. Digg, Google etc. etc. etc. it all makes sense now.
- picciano, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Google already has a "Personalized Home." If you're logged into Google, just click on the personalized home link in the upper right corner of the screen.
- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I think the middle ground is what would make it perfect.
Google is very much like Apple in that they're very innovative, except what separates them from Apple is that unlike Apple, they dont' seem to understand that beautiful UI really makes a huge difference.
I've tried to use Google's personalized homepage, but it's just too plain and boring. Yahoo's, "My Yahoo!" page, on the other hand, is overly crowded and annoying to navigate. - lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5This is trash, the great thing about the google page is that you don't have to see any more than you want to see. On the yahoo style mock up, there are dozens and dozens of links. 99% of the users will only click on 10 of those links at the most in day to day usage. The rest serve only to distract.
- wonderwood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4If Google looked like that I wouldn't use it. That's the very reason I don't Yahoo! The page is much too busy. I like my personalized Google page much better!
- Shawnosaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No thanks. It looks like my current Google homepage with ads and some undesired content added. Google already lets you customize the homepage so much that I can't see what this would offer.
- MacHarborGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I think Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force could say it better than me...
"It's too busy, this is all too busy. By the time you finish reading it you're dead!" - Master Shake - austindkelly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm sorry, but where on the page do my RSS feeds fit? and what about tabs? and collapsable widgets? no ad banners, it feels almost myspace-ish with the blog list and the chat and email and videos all slammed together (much cleaner, and i wish myspace did look like this).
- firsttube, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3kinda like http://www.google.com/ig
- Tyfud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Also disagree. Googles homepage as it stands, is legible and make sense at one glance. I've got tabs, I can move things around, it loads quickly, and I'm not pigeon holed into stupid advertisements and required tools taking up space. ( http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en if you want to set up your own with Google.)
- basictheory, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://search.yahoo.com
....has been like that for ages. - pophysis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3or http://www.google.com/ig
- zues, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I think you did a great job there!
- pixelbeat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Looks too Yahoo! for me... but it's a great great work!
- brian4572, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I love you Google, you don't need this Yahoo trash, you are Google, I love you.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ rad4Christ
whoa! i never been there, but i guess due to my cookies and having a yahoo account ( SBCY! DSL since 2004 ) i was logged in and everything.
looked good. not great but there is a reason i dont give out my yahoo email... because it sucks - Psycs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Hmmm, I shall name it.... Yahoogle?
* Evil laugh * - jonvdveen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Y'know...at first I thought this was a joke (come to think of it, it may still be). However, as I got to looking at it a bit more, I started liking it more. There are, of course, some things that I would change, but that's nothing new. Although I don't really care for the google video side of things, I wouldn't mind being able to quickly read or access my Gmail. That's just me though.
- tackle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Google's http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en is not equivalent to Yahoo's http://yahoo.com . It is equivalent to http://my.yahoo.com/
- 405994, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I fell in love with google when I had a dial-up connection because it was simple and therefore loaded very quickly. The simplicity of the regular google search page is almsot symbolic of the internet. A single blinking line in a search bar that has access to the world. . .
- metricoclock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The mock up is fairly accurate of what yahoo's is, but alas i'm glade that Google doesn't bother with the trouble of cluttering up their homepage, i would surely stop using google most likely if they left their clean aproach.
- gamemaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If they did this I would just stop using google. I want a search engine, clean and easy. Not a friggen marketing page masquerading as a data warehouse.
- cwshea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ugh.
Google has a better homepage, because it's cleaner and crisper. No stupid ads. Or junk you don't want. - DigitalPimptres, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Google. I love you just the way you are.
- BornGhost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If this kind of switch was made, I can't say I would complain. Though maybe some Adsense ads would be better in that bottom right corner instead of that big hulking video ad. It actually kind of throws off the feel of the page completely.
- hammerton1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I rather like the simplicity of the google start page. Its probably one of the main reasons why I continue using it. None of that annoying nonsense to keep you distracted from the main feature of the web page, which is a search engine.
- rnguyen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The page is a joke, surpassing google's UI standards is like winning an ass kicking contest with one leg
- Keyframe3D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I actually started to like Yahoo. Never used it before. Before google I've used altavista. But now it seems like Yahoo gotten itself together, and search results are in many cases way more relevant than google, just try it for some time!
I'm still addicted to google though, but every now and then I go to yahoo.
Also, yahoo videos is great for pr0n :D - tomarocco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Maybe as a pre-defined template for users who want it...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I used to use Yahoo's start-page since '98, but when they changed thier design to what they have now, I just made my own. Give a look-see: http://achoo.roscoetoon.lunarpages.com
- scorwitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love your mockup. This would be a great homepage for Google to display. If you're just there to search, then ignore everything but the search bar, and of course you should still be given the option of having a personalized home if you like.
The one thing I don't get is why Google releases so many different things that I then forget about within a month because unless I click on "more"-"even more", I never see them. - Filter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1But it's not as pretty as the mock up.
- lothar250, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well i bet they wouldnt have a youtube video in there, but a google video
- Hyperreality, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wouldn't look bad if that was the google personalised homepage!
